Adversiment

Early Game

Prioritize collecting melee weapons to bolster your damage output immediately. Given your versatility, target attack speed and crit upgrades to keep pace with growing enemy health and number.

Mid Game

As more elites start appearing in waves, rely on crowd control from Lightning Shiv and solidify your defenses with items like Blood Leech. Focus on upgrading Max HP early to counter increased damage.

Late Game

For waves 16-20, prioritize dodging both bosses and elites, using the War Hammer for boss encounters. Maintain your health through proactive attacks and life steal while utilizing area-based crowd control to handle additional elite waves.

Build Reasoning

With the Multitasker character, maximizing weapon slots directly correlates to damage potential. Prioritizing melee options with chaining and bouncing capabilities increases overall efficiency. Based on calculations from base damage outputs and upgrades, the constructed build is viable against the strong wave conditions presented in Danger 5.

Why This Build Wins

The combination of Chainsaws and Captain's Sword benefits from increased weapon slots—allowing for high damage potential and synergy that rewards melee-focused builds.
Lightning Shiv provides additional area damage, critical for handling large enemy waves efficiently.

Danger 5 Notes

Danger 5 introduces stronger and more frequent enemies, necessitating both high damage output and strategic crowd control to maintain health and momentum through later waves.
